alrighty, winter's upon us here in alaska and I figure I'll pull the X inside and get started on the lift soon. When I'm done I'm putting 33's on her and wondering which size wheel works best. I've noticed most tire packages at 4wheelparts come with 15x8's for the 33's. I might go with 35's later and don't wanna have to switch rims if I do.

:chug: :chug:
 












I like 8" rims better on the 12.5" wide tires like BFGs MTRs and most other standad 33" and 35"s I like them because the tire helps to protect the rim a bit in my experance from getting as bent up. if you are going to want to run the wider tires like the 15.5 swampers I would probably go with a 10" rim. I had 15.8 3.75" rockcrawler rims and with 33"s I would just barely rub the stock radius arms with the wheels turned to full lock.
